Groundbreaking Quilting Rulers Now Available
January 31st, 2010When it comes to quilting notions there is an endless selection of cutting tools,threads, rulers, templates, marking pens, etc. that a quilter can utilize. At times it may seem difficult to decide which materials to pick and how to start when it comes to making an unique quilted item. A new quilting ruler called the Double Diamond Ruler is a good place to start.
The Double Diamond Ruler offers a great way for you to add a diamond-shaped ornamentation to any project. Prior to the introduction of the Double Diamond Ruler it was rather cumbersome to produce a diamond pattern. Previously you would have had to trace a pattern onto fusible interfacing, press it onto the material and then clip the lines you drew using a pair of scissors. Talk about time consuming! Thanks to the Double Diamond Ruler this is no longer the case.
With two sizes available the Double Diamond Ruler now helps you easily make either 1 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Create an eye-catching eyeglass case or even a purse strap using the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler. Add distinctive, dimensional diamonds to a table topper, wall hanging or even table runner utilizing the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler.
Once you’ve decided what size Double Diamond Ruler will work best for your design you’ll want to select 3 quality fabrics to work with: a main fabric, contrast fabric and background fabric. Solid color fabrics work best but the diamonds do not display well when you utilize large prints. However, small prints can result in an intersting effect.
If you are uncertain where to start then you will want to check out the online idea gallery at Bright Quilting Notions. In addition to ideas, there are patterns, kits and even an instructional video to help you get started. Order your Double Diamond Ruler today and you will be taking the first step towards making your very own masterpiece.
